It finally gives an exact location, a vacant lot on the northwest corner of Hillsdale and River. I looked at the aerial view of the lot, it seems like an odd location, but I still wish this business the best of luck.
I agree. I think they should also sell Kalamzoo Plaza (street and park), to be developed. In the more distant future I think the Kalamazoo Bridge should be replaced with a lower one that allows a line of sight across the river in both directions, otherwise the two sides of the river will never really feel connected.

That sucks. I would have thought Liquid Web would move to the city, where they would be eligible for tax breaks. Oh well, you can't win them all...
Why in the world would you want to locate a business on Ena Drive... it's not even near any major freeway entrance/exit ramps. Just another greenfield development. Kudos to bringing in jobs, but blah on the location.
Yeah, they are pretty much warehousing servers, so there is hardly any if any at all walk in customers. Location isn't that prime for them, although a good location in an urban area could make the quality of life for the employees a lot better.
I just want to mention that having learned our lesson the hard way, whether CSO had been done yet or not would definitely factor into any decision to start a new business on a given street.
I agree, which is why I think that it's important for the city do Washington Sq all the way to 496 ASAP, rather than doing the 200-300 blocks in 2010 and the 400-700 blocks in 2013. To me that's too long given the condition of Washington, especially the section near the freeway.
